CLIENT REVIEWS

Very Well organized structure of Documentation process, happy to choose ISA, last but not the least Thanks a lot to Rewa for managing case so well, BEST WISHES.- Kamal Dev Shukla

So far we had a wonderful experience. I also feel that we would have a good experience further till closure. I must say that there will always be such people who would find some fault in every organization and scare you. We need to Trust someone. Also no one on earth can give 100% Guarantee for anything. Currently I am working on IETLS preparation and I solely believe that it's my preparation which would help me score High. ISA can definitely help, however it's all up to the student. Anyways I am happy overall with the process. Everything is Formal and documented all the time which is good. This gives a feeling of assurance that everything is on Paper all the time. Good work and All the Best.- Amit Khanna

A big thanks to Rewa and Team, they have always informed for Provinces and their opening, and because of her only, I could file on time, got ITA at 353 Points.- Bhavya Jain

The back end staff is very courteous (I have mainly interacted with Priya, Bibhash and Monika). My interaction with the staff post IELTS has been good and everything related to documentation has been going very well, however during the first presentation we will get a job from here itself and we don’t have to go there for that. However, we need to go out first and search for the job there. I have not heard about anyone from ISA or within my circle who did not have to go to Canada/Australia to get a job. Also, as soon as a person books IELTS exam, he should be asked to get all the documents one by one (from university, office etc.) to save time.- Lohit Jagia

Would like to thank documentation team, isa global contacts and expert for helping in application Process and arranging IELTS session.- Kiran Shan Bhag
